For a richer flavor, consider using maple-cured bacon. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a subtle kick to balance the sweetness. Fresh green beans can be substituted; blanch them briefly before adding to the bacon mixture. If the bacon is too salty, you may want to reduce the amount of added salt.
